Weybourne Beach
8 Alden Embry

Lovely serene shoreline. Pebbles instead of sand, yet ideal for a leisurely stroll along the northern Norfolk coastal trail. It's important to note the presence of numerous fishermen on the beach, so it's advisable to keep a close watch on your dog. The current can be quite powerful in this area. There is a paid parking lot available, along with a small restroom facility if required.

The North Norfolk coast boasts a stunning coastline, making it the perfect spot for a leisurely walk or a relaxing day spent soaking up the sun. The beach is also dog-friendly, and with ample parking available, it's an ideal destination for families with children.

Brancaster Beach
10 Nivaan Patel

This beach is quite beautiful and much cleaner than other beaches in the UK. It's spacious and has plenty of room to relax. However, there aren't many food options nearby, except for a small café located near the car park. Speaking of which, the car park is quite large and the prices are reasonable.

Holkham beach

The sea is absolutely stunning, and there's a delightful park nearby where you can take your furry friend for a walk. The park is filled with large, beautiful trees, and the air is fresh and invigorating. The sand at the beach is soft and perfect for lounging on, and you can easily spend an entire day here with your loved ones and your pup. There's even a charming beach cafe where you can enjoy a beverage with your furry companion, and they offer fresh water and dog plates for your furry friend. I highly recommend paying a visit to this breathtaking sea and park. ♥️

This charming beach is a delightful spot for a leisurely stroll, though it's no secret that it attracts a lot of tourists, making it a bit overcrowded and not always pristine. However, during quieter times, it transforms into a serene sanctuary. The ocean vistas are simply breathtaking, making it a must-see destination for those residing in the Midlands. Without a doubt, it outshines Skegness in every way!
